First we'll take three pick patterns and learn to play them over the standard chords in the key of G. Then, we'll add scale licks between them in a mock progression to practice making pretty noise with our mandolin.

Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
